Actually, wealthy people will do just fine with a more peaceful, more prosperous country, and probably a more stable world.

The greedy may suffer a bit. That's fine by me.

Well, in my book, wealthy (usually) = greedy.  Bill Gates has been incredibly charitable in donating millions (billions?) of dollars.  But let's not pretend that he got Windows on 90+% of computers by not being greedy.

Re: She absolutely needs Obama (none / 0)

Well, my sister lives in a two-doctor household that brings in a low six-figure income. I'd call them wealthy (and they'd agree) but I'd never call them greedy: they're hard-working and generous people who navigate a broken system in order to help others, while making a higher-than-average income in the process.

I know plenty of others who do pretty well, but I wouldn't say it was a result of greed.

Being in a financially rewarding profession doesn't make one inherently greedy. I have to disagree with the "usually" stipulation.
